Chapter 19: The Beginning of Dream Refining
Seeing that I had opened my eyes, she simply pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that she came in, it was not easy to continue practicing, so he had no choice but to answer her: "Well, I am practicing." ”
"Oh! What kind of skills are you practicing? Qingqing sat on the bed and asked.
"Master taught me Tuna's kung fu." I replied to her with some embarrassment.
"Is it Qigong that is popular on the mainland?"
"No, how can it be qigong." I don't know where Qingqing heard it, but when I was still in junior high school, I did hear rumors about qigong, all of which said how powerful qigong was after practicing qigong, and where there was a qigong master, who taught it on the spot.
But I was still in school at the time, so I didn't have time to worry about that.
"Oh! Not really! I thought it was some kind of powerful qigong. Qingqing said with some disappointment.
"Then what's the use of your kung fu?" Then she asked again.
"Well, Master asked me to practice and I practiced, and I don't know what the use is." I really didn't know how to answer her, so I said perfunctorily.
"Then your master..." She had just said these words, and she heard the master outside shouting: "Qingqing, the advertisement is over, come out and see." Don't disturb your brothers' rest. ”
"Oh! Here it comes. Then you can continue to practice, I'll go watch TV. With that, he ran out of the house.
Looking at her back, I shook my head helplessly and began to meditate again. I went into a dream to practice and play with my second brother.
The man in the dream reappeared, he first watched us from the sidelines, and then I was imitating Brother Zhang's movements and practicing Bajiquan.
"Feng Lin, are you practicing martial arts?" The dreamer asked.
"yes, how do you see me practicing?" I stopped and asked.
"It's just a showcase, and it doesn't have any practical use."
"How is it possible, I think Brother Zhang is very powerful to use!" I argued.
"Zhang Ye started from the basic skills, and after years of repeated training, he has today. Do you think you can practice by imitating him? "I scratched my head, he was right, practicing martial arts can't just practice it like it is effective.
"Then I want to learn some methods of self-preservation, how to practice?" I asked.
"The path of martial arts is three layers, the upper realm is called 'strength by the heart', this realm's own strength is completely controlled by itself, as much strength as you want, you can make as much strength as possible, and this realm has practiced the strength of the whole body to the extreme, which is equivalent to the level of floating qi refining, most people can only reach this realm. The top-level realm is called 'untouched', this realm is not only about strength, but also in the five senses, in the hand, you can sense the way the opponent moves, so as to react in advance. Further, even if someone is looking at him from behind, he can be aware of it. It is equivalent to the Dream Refining Body, and at this level, he is already a rare master in the world. The higher ultimate realm is called 'form and god are true', which is the extreme of martial arts, and no one has ever heard of it being able to do it, only in legends. "The person in the dream first introduced the realm of martial arts, and I listened patiently.
"In the realm of yin consciousness, the passage of time is different from that of yang consciousness because the flow of consciousness in the two realms of consciousness is different. The time of yang consciousness is guided by external objects, such as the rising sun in the morning, the middle of the day from noon, and the setting of the sun in the evening. This is not the case with the time in the yin consciousness, which is similar to the yang consciousness in most people, but there are exceptions, and this is the meaning of the so-called 'yellow sorghum dream' in ancient times. Dream control can enhance the flow of consciousness that controls the realm of yin consciousness, making the realm of yin consciousness longer or shorter, and this method is described in the dream control refining body. The dreamer looked at me and said.
"The cultivation of floating life qi refining is the foundation, and the dream refining body is the method of controlling the body derived from it. In the original text, it is said: The realm of yang consciousness, condensation and god. Introducing yin into yang is for less yin. Yin consciousness control, yang consciousness form and god.... He memorized the original text of the first chapter of the Dream Refining Body again.
I memorized it myself, but I didn't think about it myself. Now that I think about it carefully, the first chapter of the Dream Refining Body does mention the exercises of the realm of yang consciousness.
Roughly translated: When awake, condense qi into the yang consciousness, and slowly attract the yin consciousness, and the yin consciousness is less yin.
The less yin is used to control the senses, and the sun is used to control the mind and the form and spirit. People react because of their feelings, so enhancing or weakening the corresponding sensations is refining the body.
For example, if you have less shade and slow down or filter your hearing, you can hear more subtle and distant sounds. If less shade slows down vision, it can make what you see slower down.
With practice, this ability will become stronger and stronger. The words of the man in the dream reminded me that there was still this kind of operation, and it seemed that I would also practice during the day in the future.
He also explained: "Floating Life Qi refining is the foundation of Floating Life Controlling Dreams, and it is also the foundation of all future cultivation. Only when the foundation is solid enough can we practice the more profound Dharma, and only when we have confirmed the previous level of the Dharma can we understand the next level of cultivation. It's like if you can't make a heart seal, the trick to dream is useless. After setting up the heart seal, the key to dreaming has been mastered, but the heart seal can't attract Shaoyang, which is also useless, let alone the future practice. "The next morning, I woke up and saw myself sitting cross-legged and smiling.
It seems that I have become accustomed to meditating and sleeping, rather than lying down and sleeping. Get up and wash up and go to the living room.
Shi Niang has already gotten up and made breakfast.
"Xiaofeng, I got up so early, won't I sleep more?" When the master saw me talking, she still held a plate in her right hand, which contained a few slices of fried pork, a steamed bun and an apple, and a cup of soy milk in her left hand.
"I usually wake up at this time, and I can't sleep anymore."
"Come, have breakfast!" Then he put what he had on the table.
"Thank you, Master." I said. At this time, Brother Zhang also came over, and the master said, "No thanks, no thanks." Brother Zhang also got up, sit down, I'll go get breakfast. I took a bite of the steamed bun and asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”
"I just ate it, in the past, Qingqing and I ate it together, and her father likes to go downstairs for morning tea." The master said, and put the breakfast in front of Brother Zhang.
"Thank you." Brother Zhang said. After eating breakfast with Brother Zhang, the master turned on the TV to show me and Brother Zhang, and then cleaned up the dishes and returned to the kitchen.
At this moment, Qingqing hurriedly walked out, took an apple from the plate on the dining table, and said, "Mom, I'm going to school." ”
"Qingqing, why don't you finish eating and then go?" The teacher came out of the kitchen and asked.
"There's no time." Qingqing opened the door and left in a hurry.
"Alas, this kid." Then back in the kitchen. I sat on the couch and didn't have the heart to watch TV.
And thinking about what happened in last night's dream, and then decided to try to practice, there would be nothing else to do anyway.
So he got up and went back to his room and closed the door. He sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
However, instead of falling asleep, he relaxed his yang consciousness and slowly focused on the sounds around him, consciously or unconsciously.
In this half-awake and half-asleep confusion, I felt the change. No one bothered me until noon, until Brother Zhang pushed the door in and called me to eat.
I immediately dispersed the Shaoyin, opened my eyes and came to the dining table with him, Master and Uncle had also come back at this time, and Chen Miao came with me.
After lunch, Uncle Shi and Chen Miao sent the three of us to the accommodation that was prepared for us.
The place is not very far, I didn't drive far and stopped in front of another building, this time on the twelfth floor, there are two families on this floor, we entered the door on the left.
This room is a three-bedroom apartment, with bathrooms in both bedrooms and a bed in the third room.
The whole room has been renovated, the usual furniture is in place, and even the sofa and TV in the living room are complete.
"Big brother, you can live in this room as you like. The usual things are ready, if there is anything missing, just let me know. Uncle Shi said.
"It's really troublesome second brother."
"Hey! Where the words. "I took the initiative to live in the third bedroom, and Master and Brother Zhang lived in the first and second bedrooms respectively.
Uncle Shi and Chen Miao stayed for a while before leaving. After putting my luggage away, I went to the balcony to look at the view.
"Xiaofeng, come over here." While I was thinking nonsense, Master was talking in the room. I opened the glass door and walked into the living room, Brother Zhang and Master were already sitting on the sofa, and when I saw that I was also sitting on the sofa, Master said, "I have already contacted my employer this morning, and someone will come to pick us up early tomorrow morning." ”
"Master, how long are we going to stay in Hong Kong?" I asked.
"I've done this first, and I guess I'll be able to go back before the end of the year, and I'll keep an eye on the situation in Guangdong, and I'll be notified of any progress." After listening to what the master had done, he went back to his room to rest.
Brother Zhang turned on the TV and watched, while I went back to my room to meditate and practice, hoping to achieve something early enough to cope with the next things.
With continuous practice, I have gradually been able to concentrate on listening to a single sound. I was listening carefully to the sound of the TV played by Brother Zhang at this time, but Brother Zhang did not turn up the volume very much, and if I closed the door and did not listen carefully, I would not be able to hear it at all.
But now I can not only hear, but also hear very clearly. I tried to pay attention to other finer sounds, and slowly exercised my ability to listen with less yin.
During this period, the method of guiding the young yin was also repeated many times, and the two abilities were practiced alternately. In the afternoon, Master called us out for dinner.
Take the elevator from the twelfth floor to the first floor and follow the street in search of a place to eat. The streets here are very narrow, and many of them are one-way streets the width of a car.
Some of the shop signs on the streets are in English, and many of the alleys have pictures and characters painted on the walls and doors.
After looking for a while, I finally found a claypot restaurant, and I felt good about the poster pictures in front of the door.
When the dish was served, I realized that the claypot rice was cooked in a porcelain bowl with a handle, and sausages and vegetables were added to the bowl, and there was a layer of pot at the bottom of the bowl.
Although I often see it in Guangdong, I have never eaten it. After dinner, I walked back to my lodging, and after meditating, I continued to practice the Dream Refining Body.
I woke up the next morning and it was business as usual. The three of them went downstairs to finish breakfast, and when they returned to their residence, Master's mobile phone rang.
After answering the phone, the master said, "They have already sent a car, I asked them to wait at the intersection downstairs, it's a black business car, let's pack our things and go down." When I came to the intersection, there was a black business car parked there, and a man wearing sunglasses and a suit got out of it and said, "You are an old man, please get in the car." The three got into the car, and the man got into the car, started the car and headed forward.
The car turned left and right on the road, and it took more than half an hour to get to the place, and when I got out of the car, a building appeared in front of me, and the glass wall outside looked very luxurious.
The man led the way inside, and the group of four went to the second floor, and then asked us to wait in the living room.
In the huge living room, the sofa is spread out in a circle, and the coffee table in the middle is placed with fruit. A short time later, a middle-aged man in a suit with rimless eyes walked in.
When he saw us, he stepped forward and shook hands with Master and said, "You must be Master Sui!" You may be seated and let me introduce you. ”
"Oh! Presumably you are Mr. Li, hello, hello. Master said, and then everyone sat down, and someone brought tea.
"Master Sui, I invited you to come here this time for this matter, this is a relevant report, you can take a look." Mr. Li said.
Master took the document and looked at it. Mr. Li continued: "What about this matter! It's not clear to the outside world, and we hope to solve it soon. Due to the sensitivity of the matter, he did not hire anyone in Hong Kong, and now only one chef, Huang, who has a good relationship with his father, is studying the matter. The master put down the report in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "I can't see the specific clues of this matter from the report, and I have to go to the place to see it before I can draw conclusions." ”
"Don't worry, I've already arranged it, and someone will send you over after we're done talking. The company wants to settle the matter within a week, so it has prepared a place for you to live there, what do you think? Mr. Li asked.
"It's no problem to live there, and it saves you the need to run back and forth." Master nodded and said.
"If Master Sui thinks it's okay, please accept the deposit first, and I will arrange for someone to send you over immediately, if you have any requirements during the period, you can tell Master Huang over there or contact me." Mr. Li took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Master.
"This deposit is still going to wait for the situation to be said." Master hesitated.
"Master Sui, it's not easy for you to come from the mainland, no matter whether this thing is successful or not, this deposit should be accepted first." Mr. Li said again.
"This... That year old will take it first. Seeing that he insisted, the master accepted it.
"Okay, it's settled, wait a while, I'll arrange it." Mr. Li stood up and walked out.
After sitting for a while, the driver who picked us up just now came over and said, "Master Sui, Mr. Li asked me to send you over." We stood up and followed him downstairs to the van.
After about half an hour, the road ahead became more and more desolate, and vegetable fields appeared all around, and after a while, they drove up the mountain.
The mountains here are not as tall as Qianzhou, and most of them are just some small mountains that are connected together. After another half an hour, I finally came to a villa.
The villa stands in the middle of a desolate mountain wilderness, surrounded by the sound of birdsong. After getting out of the car and entering through the unlocked iron gate, an old man in his fifties walked out of the room.
"Hello Master Huang, this is an old master from the mainland, Mr. Li has already explained, right?" The driver said.
"Well, Mr. Li has already called, you go back, and then I'll arrange it." Master Huang said.
"You are Master Huang, look up for a long time." The master said.
"Master Sui praised it falsely, everyone followed me into the house." The three of them followed Master Huang to the door of the house, and the driver who sent us had already started the car and slowly drove away from here.
I still don't know what to do, but I feel that everything is not easy.
When I passed by the gate, I found that there was a yellow charm pasted on both gates, and a gossip mirror was hung on the door.
Entering the house, there is a round table and eight wooden chairs in the center of the living room, and there is nothing else, and what is even more permeable is that the surrounding walls and pillars are painted with red paint, and there are many yellow symbols pasted in the blank space.
"Master Huang, it seems that this is not a small problem." Master said, and then Master Huang led us to the door of a room.
"Yes, if Mr. Li hadn't told me that someone else was coming, I would have planned to leave this ghost place a long time ago." As he spoke, he pushed open the door, and a cold wind blew out from inside, and I couldn't help but shiver.
